Alex Rodriguez and the New York Yankees took part in a six-inning intrasquad game Monday afternoon, the first “game” action for manager Joe Girardi’s team this spring. And if facing a 90 mph pitching machine known as “Iron Mike” is any indication, A-Rod might end up apologizing for more than his past PED use this summer. Apparently, his shame has flowed over to the batting...

Jon Stewart made an appearance at WWE Raw Monday night and, besides bringing his trademark wit and perplexed facial expressions, brought along a sneaky left foot.

Stewart might be hanging...

It looks like Mikhail Prokhorov's five-year window for a Brooklyn Nets championship is about to close without a title, even though the Russian billionaire will still come out a big winner himself — at least financially.

Want to get a rise out of Hal Steinbrenner without mentioning the name A-Rod? Try saying "cheap."That's cheap as in skinflint, tightwad or penny-pincher.

During Robinson Cano's first season with the Mariners his stats were a little lighter than the ones he usually put up when he was with the Yankees.
